    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 542

    "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, what are you?"

    Seeing the bloody corpses all over the place, Major General Li Yi also turned ugly.

    The fourth prince wiped his bleeding sword, but remained calm, as if he had done a very ordinary thing.

    The fourth prince said with a smile: "I heard that rebels sneaked into Qinshui City. I came here to verify and found out that they were indeed rebels. I killed them all."

    "I didn't inform the major general in advance, please don't take offense to the major general." The fourth prince said embarrassingly.

    Major General Li Yi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard what the fourth prince said. He couldn't admit that they were the prince's special envoys who settled here.

    "Go down and investigate, and there are rebels sneaking into the city. Whoever let it in, we must not let it go lightly." Major General Li Yi turned his head and ordered.

    "No!"

    "The Fourth Highness is exhausted from the journey, so we should go back to rest earlier. Let us clean up the corpses here." Li Yi said.

    "In this case, there is trouble."

    The fourth prince beheaded the special envoy of the prince and had done what he should do, so he left and returned to the station.

    "I didn't expect that His Royal Highness would be so decisive."

    Seeing the fourth prince and others leave, Li Yi felt dizzy while admiring the courage of the fourth prince.

    The prince's special envoy died on the territory of their northern army, and they would not be able to clean up even if they jumped into the Yellow River.

    "Take the corpses here and bury them outside the city."

    Seeing the corpses all over the place, Li Yi couldn't help shaking his head. The four princes gave him all the problems.

    "Father, the fourth prince killed all the prince's special envoy and his party."

    After Li Yi returned to Zhenbei General's Mansion, he reported the unexpected situation to Zhenbei General Li Kou.

    "This Fourth Highness is not only courageous, but also decisive. It seems that we have underestimated him."

    When Li Kou, the general of Zhenbei, heard that the fourth prince dared to behead the prince's special envoy and others as soon as he arrived in Qinshui City, he also looked at him differently.

    "Father, now that the prince's special envoy and his party have been beheaded, how should we explain to the capital?" Li Yi asked.

    "Do you find the explanation helpful?"

    Li Kou, General of Zhenbei, gave his son a supercilious look.

    What the fourth prince did was tantamount to cutting off the retreat of their northern army.

    Even though they are still relying on the prince now, in order to win them over, the prince will temporarily trust them and ignore this matter.

    But once there is a rift between the two parties, it is like a broken mirror that cannot be reunited, and there is a knot in the heart.

    "We can use the head of the fourth prince to explain it. The prince will definitely not care about the beheading of the special envoy." Li Yi thought for a while and said.

    "It's easy to kill the fourth prince, but if he is killed, he will still have sons, military families and eight provinces that support him."

    "The most important thing is that now our northern army's food is transported from the south by water transport. Once they go crazy for revenge and cut off our military food supply, our northern army may collapse without fighting."

    If the Northern Army had kept silent, the Fourth Prince and the others would not cut off their rations in order not to offend the Northern Army.

    But once they killed the fourth prince, Li Kou, the Great General of Zhenbei, believed that in order to retaliate against them, the military family would definitely cut off the food supply of the Northern Army.

    Now the action of the fourth prince has directly forced the northern army into a dead end, and there is no choice.

    Because they took refuge in the prince's troops who went south to attack the fourth prince, they were short of food, and their backs were exposed to the wolf riders on the grassland.

    But it is different to join the Fourth Prince, they only need to send part of the army to the south to support.

    What they originally thought was to wait for the price, and wait for the situation to become clear before making a choice that is beneficial to them.

    But now the situation is changing so fast that they have no choice.

    Although they had no choice, they still wanted to fight for their own interests with 400,000 soldiers in their hands.

    "In the past few days, you should first accompany the Fourth Highness around, and show off the might of our northern army."

    General Zhenbei Li Kou has no intention of showing up immediately, he still needs to grind the patience of the Fourth Prince.

    After all, the fourth prince has shown his sharpness, if he goes right nowIf you talk about it, you will lose his status as the general who suppressed the north.

    Li Yi, the major general, went to receive the fourth prince, so he didn't appear to be negligent, but he could also test the fourth prince's tone.

    Fortunately, the fourth prince also knew that the meat was covered in the pot, so he was not afraid of flying.

    When Li Yi was wandering around with the fourth prince, the fourth prince also kept silent about the matter of wooing, but as a junior, he asked the general of Zhenbei to come out and uphold justice for him.

    The fourth prince inspected the cavalry of the northern army, and the infantry had been to the frontier fortresses everywhere, and he also learned about the strength of the northern army.

    While wandering around, besides constantly playing the sympathy card, the fourth prince also inadvertently revealed some thoughts of his own.

    For example, Li Kou, the general of Zhenbei, and his family have guarded the barren northern border for generations. It is too hard for them, and they will be transferred to rich places in the future.

    Moreover, the fourth prince also said that he has no generals available under his command now, and urgently needs a military marshal to help him lead the troops.

    Although the fourth prince did not expressly express that he would appoint the Great General of Zhenbei, he revealed some bargaining chips that he could offer.

    Of course, the fourth prince also said that the northern army stationed on the northern border has worked hard, and he will definitely ensure water transportation to ensure the food security of the northern army.

    Facing the half-wooing and half-threatening negotiations of the Fourth Prince, Major General Li Yi has learned a lot.

    After repeatedly sounding out the words of the fourth prince, General Zhenbei summoned the important generals under his command to discuss where the Northern Army should go.

    After several days of intense discussions, General Zhenbei Li Kou finally met with the fourth prince.

    "The wolves from the north came to attack. I led the troops to fight. I neglected His Highness. Please forgive me."

    When the two sides met, Li Kou also looked like he had just returned, showing respect.

    "How can you forgive me? General Li, as the pillar of the country, guarding the northern border, is really a blessing to my court and a blessing to the country. If there are a few people in my court who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic like General Li, why worry about the world being peaceful?  .¡±

    Although the fourth prince knew that Li Kou was in the city these days, he also pretended not to know, and deliberately praised Li Kou high.

    After some hypocritical greetings, the two parties immediately entered the living room and started a formal meeting.

    The fourth prince first cried about how the prince caused chaos and how wronged he was, and then asked General Zhenbei to lead his troops to put down the chaos so as to bring order to the world.

    Li Kou, as a loyal and patriotic general, naturally vowed that he would lead the army to suppress the rebellion.

    Afterwards, the two sides discussed the specific details. The fourth prince felt that the soldiers and horses from all walks of life were messy, and suggested that Li Kou be the commander-in-chief of the soldiers and horses of the world, commanding all the armies and crusade against rebellion.

    After a hypocritical refusal, Li Kou agreed, and became the Generalissimo under the command of the Fourth Prince.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
